The Letters

Caralama dreamed that night that her family and friends were separating Hiei and her. She cried to them saying that Hiei and Yoko had done nothing to her but her family wouldn't listen and took her away from them. Caralama looked backed and cried out for Hiei to help her but he was still asleep on a bed with Yoko beside him both oblivious of what was happening around them. Then Caralama saw her mother take out a jagged dagger and jabbed it into Hiei's chest. Caralama screamed and looked toward Yoko and called out to him to watch out and wake up but it was to late. Her uncle was already over him with the same dagger in his hands and he plunged it into his chest then Caralama saw a huge fox the same colour as her hair. It turned to her and said, "Caralama you san save them with my help."

Caralama woke up in cold sweat as she looked around her and saw she wasn't her room and she began to get worried. She then noticed that someone had his or her arms around her. She looked up and saw Hiei fast asleep. She gently unwrapped his arms from her and checked him over and saw that there was no dagger wound. Relieved she looked around and saw that she was in another room, This must be Hiei's room. Why am I here? I must have sleep walked here. Wait if Hiei's all right does that mean Yoko is as well? Caralama carefully climbed out of the bed and found out were Yoko's bedroom was.

His bed room was like a small forest full of plants mostly rose bushes. There were vines all over the place and some of them were hanging from the ceiling.

When she got there she saw that Yoko was in his bed sleeping. She went over and saw that there was no dagger wound as well. Relieved she went back to Hiei's room. She sat on the bed beside Hiei. He looked so peaceful when he slept. Caralama suddenly remembered her dream and she began to get up and summoned a cloak. After she had put it on she looked at Hiei and thought to her self, I should at least tell him why I'm leaving.

She summoned a pen and some paper and wrote

Hiei

By the time that you read this I will probably be gone. Please don't try to find or follow me. If the Signs still think that you are evil (which I hope you still aren't) you and Yoko could be in real danger. My mother, uncle and aunt may never really understand how I feel about you since they were the ones that were mostly affected by my father. They will probably not think twice about killing either of you. I hope you understand Hiei I love you and I will tell them everything so that they wont go after you. I know that the barrier is still up and they can't find any of us but this is only delaying the inevitable. We will eventually have to tell them and the sooner I tell them sooner it will be safe. But with my mother it will take a long time so you are going to have to patient. I will tell them that you and Yoko saved me from Alfred and that you never did hurt me. But if this doesn't work I will escape to you and Yoko and forget about the Signs. I will do what ever it takes to make sure that it doesn't come to that. But if it does and this is just to be careful I want you to take one of the charms that can transport everything that is within the barrier to anywhere you want to go. The charm can be used more than once but I don't think that is necessary because it will also bring the mimicking charm along with you so the Signs will never find you. You have to understand me Hiei if you thought my fireball hurt, if the Signs think that you and Kurama are evil heavens only knows what they will do to you and it will be much more painful! I know that when I was healing you and I said that I couldn't kill you, you thought it was because I loved you. I do love you now Hiei but that wasn't it. I couldn't kill you because Sign sisters, brothers and/or children can't kill anyone until their eighteen not even if they cut you head off. That is why you and Yoko didn't die...thankfully, I'm only fifteen and I'm a Sign child. There is so much more I have to tell you but not now. I will give you and Yoko a mind picture of the charm you are supposed to look for and a mind message on how to use it. I can now only give you one more thing before I leave. A book on how to use all the charms, I don't care if you use them for crime but I trust you to make the right choice.

I love you Hiei and don't you ever, EVER think differently,

Caralama

Caralama went over to Hiei and folded the letter and carefully enclosed Hiei's hand around it. She knelt over Hiei and gave him a gentle kiss on the lips and caressed his cheek with the back of her hand. She put her mouth close to his ear and whispered, "I love you Hiei so please understand this."

She went to Yoko's room and saw that he was still sleeping. Caralama glanced outside and saw that the sun was two hours away from rising. That gave Caralama plenty of time to write him a message and give him the mind message and picture.

Yoko

I have already given Hiei a letter to explain some of the reasons why I'm leaving I told you some of them already when I was freaking out after another one of my nightmares with my father. I have to go so you and Hiei can be safe. I have to convince my family and friends that you had done nothing to me but care for me. I am sure my mother, aunt, and uncle will not understand. What my father did affected them the most. I hope you understand that I am doing this to keep you and Hiei safe. My family does terrible things to people whom kidnapped there young. Heavens only knows what they will do to you and Hiei. I have given Hiei a book on how to use the charms that you stole. Like I said to Hiei I don't care what you do with them you can use them for stealing I don't care but I hope you make the right decision. I will give you a mind message and a mind picture to you about a charm you can use to take everything within the barrier anywhere you want. I care about you Yoko and don't think I don't. Believe it or not you are like a father to me and that is all I have ever wanted was a father that would care for me like you have. I hope you don't hate me for thinking this Yoko but I am just telling you the truth.

You remember when I attacked you with the fireball? Well I could have killed you but I don't have enough time to right it down so you are going to have to read Hiei's letter. Please don't come after me and find the charm and use it so that way the Signs won't be able to find you. I will try to tell them everything and it might take awhile. My family might not even believe let alone listen to me but I hope the other Signs will. Like I said before I love you like a father and I hope you don't think it wrongly. I have to go you are starting to wake up.

Caralama

Caralama folded the letter and went over to Yoko and enclosed his hand around the letter. She knelt down and gently wrapped her arms around him in loving embrace laying her head in his chest for a second and then whispered in his ear, "Please think of me as your daughter Yoko," then she went over to the window and looked out of it. Then in a flash of light she was outside. Caralama went up a tree and waited. She was still in Hiei and Yoko's mind so she knew when they woke up and started reading their letters.

Yoko was the first one to wake up and read the letter. He read it and when he got to the part of Caralama thinking him as her father he was a bit surprised but he wasn't uncomfortable with Her saying this. Thinking back to when Caralama had hugged him after they had battled Alfred and when he had tickled her he had felt like he was a father to her and he smiled at this thought. Then he saw the image of the charm and then he knew how to use it. Then he there was a slam of a door being opened and he ran towards Hiei's room he saw Hiei run out as if hoping to find Caralama still there.

Hiei had woken up felling a bit cold and he saw that Caralama was not in his arms but he felt there was a piece of paper in his hand. It was the letter Caralama had given to him. He turned on the light beside his bed and began to read it. He couldn't believe what he was reading. Caralama was really going to the Signs and try to tell them that Hiei and Yoko didn't do anything to her. They will never believe her! Hethought to himself, They'll just try to find us and kill us. I can take that but Caralama not being there with me! I don't want to die without her beside me! I have to find her before she leaves the grounds!

Yoko ran after Hiei as he dashed off to the open door that led to outside. With a wave of his hand the door closed before he went through it. Hiei looked at the door and then turned around and glared at him, "OPEN THE DOOR KURAMA! I HAVE TO FIND HER!" he yelled at him and stood there.

"Hiei can't you see that she is trying save us? We can't keep running from the Signs forever they will eventually find us so Caralama has to go to the Signs and clear us!" Yoko said in a clear calm voice. Hiei just stood there with anger in his eyes and a promise of death in them as well, "Hiei we have to find that charm and get out of here. Once she crosses over the barrier the Signs can easily find her and then we will be caught! Do you really want Caralama to know that you are dead because you were so stubborn? She will probably think that you didn't love her at all!"

Hiei looked at the door and then back at Yoko, "FINE BUT IF SHE DOSEN"T COME BACK IN ONE MONTH I'M GOING AFTER HER REGARDLESS OF THE DANGER!" Hiei turned and ran towards the room where they had put the stolen the magic charms in with Yoko right behind him.

It was all Caralama could do to get away from the hideout and not look back. Then there was a sudden burst of light. When the light was gone Caralama turned around and went back to the hide out. There was nothing there. Her heart hurt and it felt so heavy. Caralama had heard all of what the demons were thinking and was happy that Yoko thought her as his daughter. She didn't know the feeling was when she heard Hiei say the things and think the things he did though. But she was happy that Yoko had gotten him to get the charm and he would wait for one month. Then she remembered that her family and friends always moved. Not away to another house but to another world. When her family and friends had given up on looking for them if they didn't believe her they would move to another world and she knew that there were different time speeds in other worlds. What if they went to a world where time was slower than this one and Hiei was dead? Or what if they had found him and killed him and she wasn't there to be with him like Hiei had thought? Caralama started to cry and wanted have Hiei beside her right then comforting her saying that her family would never find them and that they could never keep them apart.

Then Caralama felt a pair of arms wrap around her in a loving embrace and thinking it was Hiei she snuggled closer. Then she looked up at the face and she didn't see Hiei's face she saw her mothers. Surprised Caralama backed away from her mother and thought. Oh no don't tell me that I was to late.

Her mother looked startled to see Caralama back away from her. Caralama's mother was so beautiful. Her mother was tall and slender with hair that looked like golden silk that went down to her waist. Her face looked so beautiful and caring but seemed a bit worried. She didn't have high cheekbones like her daughter but her eyelashes were long just like hers. April's skin was a sun-tanned kind of colour and her eyes were like golden sapphires. "Caralama are you alright?" Caralama's mother (who was called April) asked in a worried tone of voice. April's voice was strong and calm but it sounded worried as well.

"Those demons didn't hurt you did they?" vame another voice behind April and Zell, Caralama's uncle, came up with the Nakada and her brother Squall. Zell was strongly built and really handsome. His hair was blonde and spiked in the front but smooth in the back. He also had a tattoo on one side of his face that covered a small bit on his left side. His skin to also had a sun-tanned kind of colour and his eyes looked like golden sapphires.

Nakada's eyes were icy blue but held warmth in them but they looked just as worried as April. She had a soft voice that sounded like the ringing of bells. She also had high cheekbones and long eyelashes. She was slender and her skin was fair and the colour was milky white. Her hair went to her waist and it was a silver blue kind of colour. She was wearing a sleeveless shirt and a skirt that went down to her knee's that matched the colour of her hair. Her legs were long and slender but they still looked strong enough to run far and fast and could swim at great speeds.

Squall wore black jeans and a black coat with a white T-shirt underneath it. His brown hair was short and a bit messed up. There was a scar on his left side of his nose that he had gotten from one of the Dark Signs. The one who gave it to him also got one on the other side of his nose. His voice was deep and strong but it always sounded so beautiful and calm. his eyes were a deep colour of blue and his skin was a pale kind of colour.

"No he didn't hurt me he would never had of hurt me, neither would have the other one!" answered Caralama as fast as she could.

"Calm down," Nakada began to speak and just by her voice Caralama calmed down, "Now who is he and the other one?" Nakada asked as she knelt by Caralama.

Caralama was quiet for a second wondering if she should tell them, "Hiei and Yoko they would never hurt me please don't hurt them I'll do anything!" Caralama said again a bit to fast but her voice was also very calm.

This surprised them very much. They looked at Caralama as if she had gone mad all except for Nakada and Squall. Nakada had knelt there beside her and began to put her hands on her shoulders and asked, "Caralama why don't you want us to hurt them? They stole from your uncle Zell's house and they kidnapped you. You had blocked out your mind so we couldn't find you."

"I can't tell you why I just can't, but please don't hurt any of them I couldn't stand it if you did," Caralama was close to tears. She couldn't let her dream of Hiei and Yoko being killed by her own family and friends come true.

"Is she going to be all right Nakada?" It was Squall, her brother who had spoken up now, "Is she going to need anything?"

"No Squall she doesn't need anything but for us to do as she says until further notice. We need to take her back home." Nakada answered in a calm voice, "She needs to have tons of rest and then we can ask her some more questions. Come Caralama no one is going to hurt anyone." With that Caralama fainted into Nakada's arms.

What ever happened, Nakada thought as Zell carried Caralama back toward their home, Caralama seems to be very afraid if we hurt this Hiei and Yoko she met in the hide out.Nakada thought to herself as she looked back towards where the hide out had been. She recognized which charm they had used to get the whole hide out, out of this place. But some one would have had to tell them how to use it because that particular charm was not of this world. Nakada put her thoughts a side for the moment, right now she had to look after Caralama.
